PRESENTATION

Global PIC opportunities until 2030 and beyond

In this presentation, we will discuss the opportunities for PICs in terms of applications in communication, sensing and computing domains in the next ten years. The first type of application concerns data transmission at different scales: telecom, datacom and computercom. Other applications relate to High Performance Computing with Quantum PIC (QPIC) and potential Optical Processing Units (OPU). The sensing domain offers very important opportunities in many end-user markets such as automotive and transportation (LIDARs), healthcare (bio-sensing, implantable microdevice, monitoring of biomarkers …), aerospace (remote and fiber-based sensing) as well as agri-food and environment.
